Khao Sock Nationalpark

8 a.m. - I woke up and packed my small backpack for the next two days. After that we had breakfast at the place we booked our tour.

9 a.m. - We got hooked up in a minivan and drove to other hotels to pick up some other guys. Then we continued to the entrance of the national park.

11 a.m. - We arrived at the entrance of the national park, met our guide Nun and swichted to a longtail boat. We had a 1h boat drive trough the park where we saw the stunning beauty of the national park. Afterwards we came to our floating camp and saw the first time my bungalow for the night.

1 p.m. - We had a great lunch buffet and had some free time where I got to know the other people a little bit better.

2:30 p.m. - We left the village for a hike which turn out to a short waterfall hike. Nelle stayed in the camp because she didn’t felt well. The waterfall was really nice because it was kind of the sticky waterfall and the path of the hike was the waterfall itself so everything got wet. Overall we had a lot of fun and a great time. On our way back we saw even a tukan and stopped at a small floating market. Unfortunately there came a boat and they asked us wether we saw a tall guy with lots of tattoos in a kayak because he was missing. Sadly we couldn’t help searching because we were far away from our camp an the wether got worse. On our way back it began to rain and we got into a thunderstorm. Furthermore our engine stopped working because the waterpump overheated. So our situation was really fucked because we were in the middle of nowhere in a boat with a broken engine. Moreover it rained heavily and the priority of the rescue boats was the missing guy. After a while Nun fix the engine a bit and we could drove slowly but only if Philine operated the water pump manually. Somehow Cesár got service on his phone and could call Nelle how stayed in the camp and worried already about us. It was already dark but we could arrange that the camp sends a rescue boat. In the meantime we reached a small island where some locals lived. We used there shelter till the rain ended and waited for our rescue boat. This experience was fucking scary and dangerous.

8 p.m. - We arrived finally at the camp everybody was wet and cold but glad we survived without and proper injuries. We got another great meal for dinner and went to bed early but I couldn’t sleep that well because we in the night was another heavy thunderstorm.Leggi altro
